2-Day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training (CLYL)

ONLINE OPTION AVAILABLE ALONG WITH IN-PERSON IN MOST STATES

To lead a community-based free social laughter club, or a paid laughter session, or provide laughter workshops to commercial clients, you need to begin with the 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader program. We provide three levels of certification.

Level 1: BRONZE – The Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Course.

This is probably the most fun training that you’ll ever enrol in.

There’s some theory involved—the history, concept, philosophy and techniques—and there’s a lot of practice: you learn Laughter Yoga in a safe, fun, and empowering environment.

Importantly, you also acquire basic facilitation skills to enable you to competently lead a group of people in laughter exercises and laughter meditation.

This training is delivered by Certified Laughter Yoga Teachers.

At the completion of this you will be certified to run a FREE community based laughter club.

Level 2:  SILVER – The Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training Academy.

Having completed Level 1, attendees will be required to attend a minimum of 10 one-hour training sessions within the next six months. These sessions are run weekly under the supervision of a Certified Laughter Teacher.

At the completion of these sessions a practical assessment will be completed and you will then be certified to run a PAID community based laughter club.

Level 3:  GOLD – The Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Business Accreditation.

Having completed Level 1 and 2, attendees will be required to complete the 2 Day Business Training. The details of this course can be found below.

At the completion of this level, you will be certified to run PAID Laughter Workshops and Conference Keynotes to commercial clients.
